Blind, unable to properly talk, and deformed, all the elements of a tormented soul. Sometime he also looks like a victim of the Maw. How he became in this way? Who is he? A light sense of pity is embracing the Janitor, surrounding his unhealthy figure. However, the history of the Janitor is hidden in the mystery. There is no place to hide, no escape, since the Janitor will catch you anyway with his twisted and almost boneless arms. His long arms can come out from under the bed, or from the closet, dragging a child in a world of confinement and nightmares. The Janitor is in fact a Boogeyman, the creature who can catch a child wherever is hiding. Since the creature is blind, he compensates with an incredible hearing, the sense that he uses for hunting. In these situations, the Janitor’s long arms are the perfect instrument to catch the fugitives, wherever he is hiding. Sometime, a brave child could escape from the cage, wandering freely around the Maw. The creature has however another peculiar function, which he perfectly executes thanks again to his twisted arms. With his long and thin arms, he can reach any machinery, no matter how high or hidden it is. As the name suggested, he is probably in charge of different tasks, from maintenance to repairs.
Symbolism: the Janitor is a sort of Boogeyman inside the Maw, an underwater world were the children are kept prisoner inside cages. The most peculiar element of his design are the unnatural long and twisted arms, which he moves around like two horrible and sinuous snakes. Probably for this reason, the Janitor is blind. A metal helmet or a plate is pressing on his flexible skin, deforming his face in a mass of crinkles. He wears old and dirty clothes, and a brown fedora hat, pointing out the decadence and the abandon surrounding him. The face looks like made of glue, wax or clay, since it seems unnaturally like plastic. Appearance: The creature is humanoid, but his body is weirdly twisted and bizarre.
